Back End Developer

About the Role

We are refreshing our search to bring on two Backend Software Engineers to design, scale, and optimise high-concurrency, distributed platforms using Python.

In this role, you will tackle core architectural challenges involving high-throughput data processing, real-time asynchronous streaming, and cloud-native microservices infrastructure.

What You Will Do

- Python Engineering: Build low-latency, thread-safe asynchronous services using FastAPI, Asyncio, or Django.

- Cloud-Native Operations: Deploy and manage containerised systems orchestrated via Kubernetes and Docker.

- Event-Driven Messaging: Integrate and scale message brokers (Kafka, RabbitMQ, or NATS) for real-time streaming pipelines.

- Data & Performance Tuning: Optimise database query paths, relational schemas, and in-memory caching using PostgreSQL and Redis.

- Observability & Infrastructure: Monitor live system health and automate deployment tracks using GitOps tools (Grafana, Prometheus, Argo CD).

What We Look For

- Python Expertise: Solid commercial background delivering production-grade backend APIs or data pipelines in Python.

- Infrastructure Literacy: Hands-on experience navigating Docker, Kubernetes networks, and CI/CD automation pipelines.

- Culture Fit: A collaborative team player with empathetic, clear, and structured technical communication skills.

Bonus Points

- Familiarity with secondary languages (Go, Rust, or C++).

- Experience with heavy data engineering workflows (Argo Workflows).

- Familiarity with Machine Learning frameworks (PyTorch, NumPy).
